With energy consumption and costs continuing to rise, the findings of the Connecting with a Low Carbon Future report represent a win-win scenario for Australian businesses.

It highlights seven opportunities for ICT innovation that, if realised, could save businesses and consumers up to $8.1 billion in energy and travel costs, while cutting national carbon emissions by a staggering 4.7 per cent.

It’s exciting to be a part of an industry with such potential to generate change.

Investing in smart technologies not only makes business sense, but highlights the role our industry can play in preserving our planet for future generations.
